perf symbol: Add blocking argument to filename__read_build_id

When synthesizing build-ids, for build ID mmap2 events, they will be
added for data mmaps if -d/--data is specified. The files opened for
their build IDs may block on the open causing perf to hang during
synthesis. There is some robustness in existing calls to
filename__read_build_id by checking the file path is to a regular
file, which unfortunately fails for symlinks. Rather than adding more
is_regular_file calls, switch filename__read_build_id to take a
"block" argument and specify O_NONBLOCK when this is false. The
existing is_regular_file checking callers and the event synthesis
callers are made to pass false and thereby avoiding the hang.
